Default Re: Repeated flaws in Search Function ?

The forums search is weak, and using google with site:forums.sjgames.com added to the search terms will give better result in most cases.

Also, the forum search will ignore words of 3 letters or less.

Although the advanced forum search is sometimes better when you seek a specific post by a specific person and are certain of the exact spelling of your search terms.

Both google and the forum find the same 2019 post by you with "Duke of Buckingham"
http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...38&postcount=2

Advanced forum search
keywords: duke buckingham (Search entire Posts)
User Name: Racer (exact Name)
Show Results as: Posts

Likewise, the following search:

Advanced forum search
keywords: Dreams (Search Titles only)
User Name: Racer (exact Name)
Show Results as: Posts

immediately show two 2016 posts
http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...&postcount=183
http://forums.sjgames.com/showpost.p...&postcount=191

while Google only find the first and a few irrelevant results.

The browser you use shouldn't matter, the search is done server side.

I hope this can help ?
